Branch circuits run behind service panel?

[ggm]

So did it read this right, you found an alternate way to bring in the branch circuits as opposed to running in the space behind the panel?

I figure the ample space and with some organization of the wires behind the panel, this would allow easy access to the bottom and keep the area neat and tidy. I also plan to "clean up" the upper section, I didn't install that and certainly don't like the look, a little effort and it could look a whole lot better. :happyyes:

Yes, I did. My point of the comment was that I pondered the same question. i couldn't think of a reason why I couldn't run behind the panel, but it seemed unconventional and I was able to do it another way, so i didn't run behind the panel. But, l still cant' think of a reason why you couldn't.

"Unconventional" is a good description, more like thinking in 3 dimensions rather then two.
